  1.  @vennsim71  why does anyone have to give up sovereignty? Singaporeans just need a place to live.

  2.  @anujmchitale  what rules do Singaporeans object to that other western countries have? Or is it just the rule of Law in general that they have a problem with?

  3.  @anujmchitale  it worked for the people of the other country, didn't it? They all just showed up one day and started living lives themselves.

  4.  @anujmchitale  immigration is not illegal if there's no recognized authority.

  5. Negative does repel electrons.

  6.  @andersjjensen  yeah they guessed the electron charge wrong and by the time they actually found out what it really was it was too late to change everything to how things really are. So here we all are today with negatively charged electrons. Most of the time it doesn't really matter. But when it matters then it does.

  7. Bratton and Bardeen both lived practically next door to where they worked. So it's not like either of them had a long and arduous commute to work. Which makes the fact that they carpooled ludicrous. But eccentric behavior is par for the course at the Labs.

  8. So what you're saying is that sand is like cheese?

  10. Singapore should just move to where there's land. They could colonize Australia or something. There's plenty of empty space there.

  11. There are most certainly linear analog integrated circuits.

  12. I encourage you to emigrate to North Korea. Buh bye.

  14. Perhaps you don't know this but we use AMD64 today. Even on Intel.

  15.  @dmac7128  I know x86 is still there. It's just not used much these days. I remember when I stopped using x86 and it was a while ago. x86 is 32 bit. Today we use 64 bit. I think 64 bit has x86 in it? The op codes. But x64 is extended x86. So we really don't need x86 anymore. But as I understand it the CPU starts up in x86 mode? That's nothing I'm familiar with so I don't really know.

  21.  @rairaur2234  they never read that EULA. There's just too many letters and words.

  22. So basically one Ukraine aid package. I think we can afford it.

  25. Shockley's views were based on easily observed reality. Well, easy for anyone of sufficient intellect. So perhaps that excludes present company? Do tell. Perhaps you should get a degree in figuring out what a woman is? You strike me as the type that needs one.

  26.  @Raptorman0909  but it doesn't look flat. If the Earth was flat there'd be no horizon. They simply are not looking at things right. Shockley on the other hand could see down to the subatomic. He had exceptional clarity of vision. Far more acute than you'll ever know.

  27. The shipping cost in space remains too high. That and space has other issues. Like cosmic radiation. Which would cause silicon defects.

  29.  @gordonwelcher9598  rail to rail is exceedingly difficult to achieve through a material that is naturally resistive. They don't call them semiconductors for nothing after all.

  30. You're confusing your schemes. A pyramid scheme is when you buy in and then get others to buy in. A Ponzi scheme is when you sell a worthless asset for money. I'd say AI is operating more on the Ponzi model myself.

  32.  @edwardmonsariste4050  no they're not. Any filter can be digitally created today. You can sound like you're playing out of any model of tube amplifier. That tech has been available for decades. We're not living in the Stone Age now. Why with AI we don't even need musicians anymore. Chat GPT play me Chuck Berry playing Enter the Sandman please.

  35. I wouldn't worry about it. Due to practical issues modern supercomputing has to use Linux. It was the OS positioned to get the development required for the task. AI has to deal with all of those harsh realities too. So it's a lock there as well. Someday the mind of God will have a Linux kernel. Guaranteed.

  42. You just said it. It's old tech. It's not easy to keep 20 year old technology running. How many 20 year old PCs do you see being used today? The software that tech runs on needs that vintage hardware to work. The dummies used proprietary OSes. 20 year old Windows NT won't run on modern hardware either.

  43.  @shopshop144  the problem is maintenance. You can't fix this machinery in house and the companies that make the machines are not offering long term maintenance contracts either. It's just not how people are thinking in the industry. Old fabs get scrapped. No one's into restoring them. It doesn't make sense to build old machines when the best customers all want new machines. You chase money where it's at.

  44.  @SviatoslavDamaschin  you're not running real time controls in an emulator successfully. That's never going to happen. It is unlikely the software you're running belongs to you on the Windows platform either. So you're not going to rewrite it. Because you didn't write it in the first place.
    1
  45.  @SviatoslavDamaschin  a company making hardware may not have the software talent to write the code they need. Or it may not be economically viable for them to invest in what it costs to create software. Generally the cost is amortized across a number of clients. It doesn't pay to just write software for yourself. They simply might not have the time. Most people need things done yesterday. Not the years that development takes.

  47. You're luckier for the USA. Who do you think invented everything? Sure you people had some vague ideas but we actually made the physical hardware. Something you could slap and it worked. We made all of the software too. We invented the compiler and high level languages. Very little Information Technology was developed outside of the USA.

  49.  @catonpillow  Wikipedia is not a reliable information source. The places you cite cannot govern themselves. we are certainly not there to conquer or subjugate those nations. We wouldn't even want them as territories. They are defacto protectorates. The USA is a global superpower so we have many international interests. Just because we have agents in foreign countries does not mean we are conquering those places. We have military bases in Germany. That doesn't mean we're controlling Germany. When we completely conquered Germany we handed it back to the German people too. Unlike the Soviets.

  50.  @catonpillow  I do not need to look anything up when it comes to the history of the USA. That is a topic I am a distinguished historian and international affairs expert on myself. There's nothing in our history that even remotely suggests we have any imperialistic tendencies. Imperialists do not conquer countries then hand them back to the local populations. We do.
